Nike Kobe 6 Protro Mambacita Sweet 16
Brand：Nike
Relace brings you the iconic Nike Kobe 6 Protro Mabacita Sweet 16, a shoe that gracefully pays homage to the late Gigi Bryant and the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation. Initially debuting in 2011, this is the sixth in the line of signature sneakers co-created by Nike and the legendary Laker, Kobe Bryant. In 2018, Nike commenced its Protro program to upgrade vintage sneakers for the contemporary athlete - the Nike Kobe 6 Protro Mabacita Sweet 16 is a noteworthy product of this innovative project. The sneaker's black snakeskin-inspired upper serves as a nod to Kobe’s fierce Black Mamba on-court persona. What makes the Mabacita Sweet 16 special to us at Relace is the heartfelt tribute it pays to Gigi. This is seen in her AAU basketball jersey number, 2, embossed on the lateral side of the ankle. Also, the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation crest embellishes each heel alongside Kobe and Gigi’s names. To ensure both comfort and stability whether on or off the court, this Nike Kobe 6 Protro Mabacita Sweet 16 incorporates a neoprene and mesh tongue, and the signature Zoom midsole. This revered sneaker made its grand entrance into the market on May 1st, 2022.
